Mohammed Ashraf Mr. Ali Alshehab English – poetry analysis 26 November 2016 Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Line Pablo Neruda, one of the most popular and prolific poets during the twentieth century was born in July 12, 1904, Parral, Chile and died in September 23, 1973. Tonight I can write is a poem that he wrote at the age of twenty expressing his feeling about a lost love and writing his saddest lines for it. The main theme, is the opening created by lost love in a horrible universe. The two

about them. Is it their smile? Personality? Laugh, maybe? The eyes? We can all agree that we all have the same problem. That we can’t exactly explain “why” we love the person. Well in this case, sonnet XVII, Pablo Neruda loves his beloved from the inside, not the outside features. Pablo Neruda was born in Chile and his sonnets are originally written in Spanish. He published the 100 Love Sonnets in 1959. He had an affair with his second wife with Matilde Urrutia. Later, they got married in 1966, but they

However, poet Pablo Neruda flips this style on its head and explores the more chaotic, unforgiving side of nature. This was the main point of Neruda’s poem, “The Night in Isla Negra”, where Neruda describes a scene of waves crashing against his house at night before a beautiful sunrise. In this poem, Neruda uses imagery, personification, and diction to convey to the reader that nature is unforgiving and should be admired and to bring depth and meaning to the poem. Firstly, Neruda uses imagery to convey

Accordingly, in Pablo Neruda’s “The Egoist,” Neruda contrasts personal identity with the natural world, deeming abandoning one’s individuality a necessary step to obtaining lasting satisfaction with existence. Neruda conveys his idea as a physician would a diagnosis; first identifying the problem’s nature, then outlining its effects and solution. “The Egoist’s” first stanzas portray the individual ego as nonexistent and ghostlike. Instantaneously, Neruda boldly asserts, “Nobody is missing from the

word. It should have a brief definition. But love is not small, It is not simple. It is not the easiest to understand love. This complexity of love is expressed when writer Pablo Neruda describes “A planet entwined with vistas and foliage, a plain, a rock, hard and unoccupied; we wanted to build a strong nest” Pablo Neruda was a very talented poet that focused mainly on the idea of love. Sonnet 71 was written thirty-five years after Neruda’s first poem. They are written to Neruda’s third wife, Matilde

the body language, volume of voice, and pitch of the person speaking. Written poems, on the other hand, develop their tone through imagery, language use, and form. To show this, I will be using the poem “Tonight I can write” by analyzing how Pablo Neruda works with distant imagery, nostalgic past tense, and repetitive form to develop a grief-filled tone. Through my analysis, I will be mentioning that the author generates loneliness in the persona. I expect the reader to agree that solitude is a state

In her famous The House of the Spirits, Isabel Allende documents the life of several characters during the Chilean reality in the 1930s. Her notorious feminist ideology is, at times, extremely obvious. Elements such as the clash of social classes and the social, political and economical conditions of Chile during this period of high turmoil are also well portrayed. Isabel Allende achieves to give us a good image of what life in Chile was like during those years. Some particular characters specially

From the first lines of The House of the Spirits, Allende uses the technique of a feminized magical realism to pull the reader into a political-historical novel. Alba Trueba from Allende’s The House of the Spirits is an effective example of this revolutionary female narration. Her story, which includes her female relatives’ viewpoints and excludes Trueba’s version, is a direct block to Trueba’s egotistic, stiff, and not exactly true version of events. Her woman-centered narration is, further, a symbol

Tracy K Smith & Pablo Neruda Tracy K. Smith’s Life on Mars, takes bits and pieces of inspirations from other artists works. An example of this can be seen in a poem from part four of Life on Mars, in which Smith makes use of Pablo Neruda's poem “Tonight I can write the saddest lines.” Neruda has been referred to as the greatest poet of the 20th century, so it is only fitting that Smith uses his work as an inspiration. She uses direct quotation from his poem. Although they both similarly use simple
